Carlos Mencia

Popular Latin comedian Carlos Mencia has gone through his share of controversy over the last several years.

Does he steal jokes? Well, maybe accidentally, he recently admitted on fellow comedian Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast. Does he purposely mess with other comics? Sometimes, and maybe not so accidentally, he also conceded.

Still, those issues don’t take away from the fact that Mencia is one of the most popular comics working today, thanks to his “Mind of Mencia” series on Comedy Central from 2005 to 2008. Though he’s not a staple on TV these days, he’s always on the road and recently started a podcast of his own called “Laughin’ and Livin’,” which you can hear at carlosmencia.com.

So despite his public feuds with Joe Rogan and George Lopez, Mencia’s uncensored brand of social commentary continues to earn him a loyal fan base, which will no doubt be happy to whoop it up with him on Saturday night at Humphrey’s.
